The shape of the score mark gives credibility to the "cartwheel" report, although it probably spun like a saucer, and spinning off the engine that came to rest some distance away.
Look at the UA232 crash video, I always thought that had cartwheeled but it was just one wing lifting high before settling down again. This one could have done the same thing, and it might account for the position of #1 engine.

PAXboy:
BUT some of us are saying: "Keep your personal items of Passport/ID, money and cell phone on you until in the cruise. At ToD, once again place them in your pockets or in a SLIM-LINE wallet/bag over your shoulder or put your jacket on."
The grim side to that is that it's also easier to identify casualties.
